How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• relying on defendant’s false statement under oath and corroboration from testimony by other witness as evidence of perjury
• finding no error in denial of request for independent psychiatric evaluation of victims where defendant was able to adduce ample evidence on issue of victims’ competency by other means
• describing general standard of review for motion for judgment of acquittal
• sufficient corroborative evidence existed to sustain perjury conviction where defendant’s testimony that he had not committed any lewd acts was contradicted by testimony of multiple complaining witnesses who provided similar accounts
• in reviewing denial of motion for judgment of acquittal we view evidence in light most favorable to State and uphold ruling if evidence fairly and reasonably could convince trier of fact of defendant’s guilt
